In one of his first acts as president, Biden suspended border wall construction and ordered a freeze of these congressionally directed funds. I believe this action is unlawful. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

During the Trump admin, Congress directed funds to address the national security threat on our southern border by building a wall & improving existing barriers. Due to this, illegal immigration began to dramatically drop—in some areas close to a 90% reduction—because walls work. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

◼️ Over 100,000 migrant encounters in February. ◼️ Encounters in FY21 to date is 97% higher than FY20. ◼️ Migrant children in custody has tripled in the past two weeks. This is a direct product of Biden’s bad policy—and according to him, not considered a crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

We’ve got a crisis at the border now, and two of our top military leaders confirmed today that if we want to address this problem, we’ve got to start with enforcing our laws.   Border security is national security.  https://t.co/TcjdXrDWXZ — PolitiTweet.org

Not only was she ranked in the top 10 most liberal House members, she was a cosponsor of the Green New Deal, supported banning fracking & restricting oil & gas leasing on federal lands. There is no doubt her priorities will harm Oklahoma’s energy economy & our rural communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I cannot support Deb Haaland’s nomination to be Secretary of the Interior. While I greatly respect and appreciate the significance that she will be the first Native American cabinet secretary, her radical, anti-fossil fuels background is extremely concerning for all Oklahomans. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

With this legislation, we can amend the federal tax code and restore advance refunding. This would help state and local governments manage their existing debts and bring local Oklahoma communities a much needed boost. Read more about the LOCAL act. ⬇️ https://t.co/ZxBedvgQLA — PolitiTweet.org

Oklahomans are working hard to rebuild and recover as we continue to fight this coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic has brought unexpected costs for our communities, so I am glad to cosponsor the LOCAL Infrastructure Act to work to lessen their burden. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

The state of Oklahoma has more drivable miles of Route 66 than any other — which is why I’m so glad to see @OKDOT announce new historical route markers for the Mother Road. This will be a great way to enhance tourism & highlight our small town treasures. https://t.co/KfvQcDeoGw — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Ahead of this year’s ‘spring forward,’ I am proud to join my fellow Oklahoman @SenatorLankford to cosponsor this bill, introduced by @SenRubioPress, that will encourage recreation, benefit mental health and support the economy. More information below.⬇️ https://t.co/k5P5pD2hTG — PolitiTweet.org

Oklahomans have been through a lot in the past year—making Daylight Saving Time permanent with the Sunshine Protection Act is a simple way to allow them some extra daylight in the evenings. We could all benefit from locking the clocks and enjoying more hours of sunshine. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Dems should stop trying to go it alone& focus on what American families need: our economy reopened, children back in schools& access to vaccines. What we don’t need? Using the pandemic as an excuse to pass a $1.9T bill where just 1% goes towards vaccines. https://t.co/PhFf3R2EVC — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

So what does this bill fund if it isn’t focused on actually providing relief? 👎$35B in new Obamacare subsidies 👎$86B in pension bail outs Dems' House bill included— 👎$140M for Silicon Valley transit 👎$1.5M on a bridge in NY But, we successfully made them strike those. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Despite the massive, $1.9T price tag for this legislation that claims to be pandemic relief, almost none of it would go to address the pandemic. Just 1% would go to coronavirus vaccines. Only 5% would focus on pandemic public health. My recent op-ed.⬇️ https://t.co/PhFf3R2EVC — PolitiTweet.org

The future of a secure and open @uscapitol - the People’s House - lies with internal reform, creative thinking, and improvements made by the Capitol Police, in conjunction with other federal and local civilian law enforcement agencies. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

From the intelligence we’ve seen, there’s no good reason to keep all the fencing and military personnel at the @uscapitol.   @SenRobPortman, @marcorubio, @RoyBlunt, @SenShelby and I wrote to the Capitol Police to ask for further justification for the current security posture. https://t.co/tiUTwVsDBL — PolitiTweet.org

The other $122 billion would go out between 2022 and 2028. Clearly, Democrats’ “urgent relief” is not intended to help kids go back to school; instead, they are using the pandemic as an excuse to fund their liberal agenda in schools across the nation for the next seven years. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Despite claiming “emergency” relief, much of the money designated to schools wouldn’t be spent for years. According to @USCBO, the Dems’ bill would distribute only $6.4B to K-12 schools this fiscal year—that’s on top of the $68B we provided last year. ⬇️ https://t.co/PhFf3R2EVC — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Saddened to hear that a @USNationalGuard member supporting the Capitol security mission passed away following a medical emergency. Kay and I are praying for his loved ones. We will remember and honor his service to our nation. https://t.co/RMVT6HUHbf — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I was a product of the draft, and it changed my life for the better. So I really appreciated the chance to hear from members of @Inspire2serveUS at today’s @SASCGOP hearing about how we can educate people about what it means to be an American citizen. https://t.co/0RoKI1PReD — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Regan will now be tasked with revisiting and, worse, possibly reviving, many of these failed Obama-era policies. Unfortunately, with the confirmation of Secretary Regan today, I fear we are on a path to reverse the great progress we have made in the past four years. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I have great respect for Secretary Regan, but I cannot in good conscience vote to confirm him to lead the @EPA. The Obama-era EPA implemented bad policies that cost Oklahomans jobs and needlessly raised costs on families and businesses with a number of burdensome regulations. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

The Biden team keeps moving the metrics for school reopening based on national labor unions. Kids’ presence in schools is not only an investment in our nation’s future, but it is also necessary so we can fully reopen the economy. My full thoughts below. https://t.co/PhFf3R2EVC — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Dems’ legislation also throws money at big city schools, without pushing them to reopen. Dr. Fauci said it himself on MSNBC: “It’s less likely for a child to get infected in the school setting than if they were just in the community.” More on this. ⬇️ https://t.co/PhFf3R2EVC — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

It’s right to want higher wages, but the progressive proposal would cost low-income Oklahomans their jobs — and we can’t afford that. Read my full thoughts in my recent op-ed below. ⬇️https://t.co/PhFf3R2EVC — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Instead of focusing on helping small businesses & responsibly reopening the economy, progressives tried to push a min. wage hike. According to the CBO, a $15 min. wage hike would kill 1.4M American jobs— disproportionately affecting young, less educated people & small businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Dems, under the direction of the Biden admin, rammed a $1.9T bill through Congress that spends hundreds of billions of dollars on untargeted "relief" and advances policies that have nothing to do with COVID recovery. More on the implications of this.⬇️ https://t.co/PhFf3R2EVC — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

There is bipartisan support for a targeted coronavirus bill that prioritizes relief for small businesses, reopening schools and public health, but unfortunately, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi have other ideas. Read my recent op-ed for more.⬇️ https://t.co/PhFf3R2EVC — PolitiTweet.org
